Newbie on the hunt for a machine!

Hi All,

Have finally plucked up the courage to join this forum! My name is David, I am based in Essex.

I am completely new to cnc machines, but enjoy woodworking and am looking to purchase a machine that will help with my projects.

I am on the look out for a machine capable of cutting ply and wood. Looking at doing carving, inlaying and cutting joints. Are there any off the shelf machines that are capable of doing this?

I would be looking at a 4ftx4ft machine with a max budget of £4000.

Thanks

David
